Vegan Cream of Coriander (Cilantro) Soup image

Since I can't grow it to save my life and the supermarket seems to only sell it in giant bunches I constantly find myself left with a big bunch of coriander (cilantro) hanging out in my fridge. I hate, hate, hate wasting food so I had to come up with a way to use it up before it died a slow and messy death in the back of my fridge!

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used vegetable broth instead of water, and it added a nice depth of flavor. The soup was also very versatile - I added some chopped carrots and celery, and it was still delicious.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. Otherwise, it was a good soup. The texture was creamy and smooth, and the flavors were well-balanced.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think it needed more flavor. Maybe I'll try adding some more spices next time.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a lot of cayenne pepper. Next time, I'll use less. Otherwise, the soup was very flavorful and satisfying. I especially liked the crispy shallots on top.
